From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which
have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest
with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the
rest of their substance to their babes.

17:15

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be
satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

18:1

I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

18:2

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God,
my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of
my salvation, and my high tower.

18:3

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall
I be saved from mine enemies.

18:4

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly
men made me afraid.

18:5

The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented
me.

18:6

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him,
even into his ears.

18:7

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the
hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

18:8

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his
mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

18:9

He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under
his feet.

18:10

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon
the wings of the wind.

18:11

He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him
were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

18:12

At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed,
hail stones and coals of fire.

18:13

The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave
his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

18:14

Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot
out lightnings, and discomfited them.

18:15

Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of
the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast
of the breath of thy nostrils.

18:16

He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

18:17

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated
me: for they were too strong for me.

18:18

They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was
my stay.

18:19

He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me,
because he delighted in me.

18:20

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according
to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

18:21

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed
from my God.

18:22

For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away
his statutes from me.

18:23

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

18:24

Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they
that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits
all the day long.

38:13

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that
openeth not his mouth.

38:14

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are
no reproofs.

38:15

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

38:16

For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over
me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

38:17

For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.

38:18

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

38:19

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that
hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

38:20

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because
I follow the thing that good is.

38:21

Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.

38:22

Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

39:1

I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue:
I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before
me.

39:2

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and
my sorrow was stirred.

39:3

My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned:
then spake I with my tongue,

39:4

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what
it is: that I may know how frail I am.

39:5

Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age
is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state
is altogether vanity. Selah.

39:6

Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted
in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather
them.

39:7

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

39:8

Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach
of the foolish.

39:9

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.

39:10

Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of
thine hand.

39:11

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest
his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity.
Selah.

39:12

Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy
peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner,
as all my fathers were.

39:13

O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and
be no more.

40:1

I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and
heard my cry.

40:2

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

40:3

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our
God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

40:4

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth
not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

40:5

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast
done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned
up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them,
they are more than can be numbered.

We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us,
what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

44:2

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst
them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

44:3

For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither
did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm,
and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour
unto them.

44:4

Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

44:5

Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name
will we tread them under that rise up against us.

44:6

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

44:7

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to
shame that hated us.

44:8

In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever.
Selah.

44:9

But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth
with our armies.

44:10

Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate
us spoil for themselves.

44:11

Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered
us among the heathen.

44:12

Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy
wealth by their price.

44:13

Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision
to them that are round about us.

44:14

Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head
among the people.

44:15

My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face
hath covered me,

44:16

For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason
of the enemy and avenger.

44:17

All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither
have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that
rise up against thee increaseth continually.

75:1

Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks:
for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.

75:2

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.

75:3

The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear
up the pillars of it. Selah.

75:4

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked,
Lift not up the horn:

75:5

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.

75:6

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west,
nor from the south.

75:7

But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

75:8

For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red;
it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the
dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out,
and drink them.

75:9

But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of
Jacob.

75:10

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns
of the righteous shall be exalted.

76:1

In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.

76:2

In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.

76:3

There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword,
and the battle. Selah.

76:4

Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

76:5

The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and
none of the men of might have found their hands.

76:6

At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are
cast into a dead sleep.

76:7

Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight
when once thou art angry?

76:8

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth
feared, and was still,

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I
do not forget thy commandments.

120:1

In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

120:2

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful
tongue.

120:3

What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee,
thou false tongue?

120:4

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

120:5

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents
of Kedar!

120:6

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

120:7

I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

121:1

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my
help.

121:2

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

121:3

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee
will not slumber.

121:4

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

121:5

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right
hand.

121:6

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

121:7

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve
thy soul.

121:8

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from
this time forth, and even for evermore.

122:1

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of
the LORD.

122:2

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

122:3

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

122:4

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony
of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

122:5

For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house
of David.

122:6

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love
thee.

122:7

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

122:8

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace
be within thee.

122:9

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

123:1

Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

123:2

Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters,
and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so
our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy
upon us.

123:3

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly
filled with contempt.

123:4

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that
are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

124:1

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel
say;

124:2

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose
up against us:

124:3

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled
against us:

124:4

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over
our soul:

124:5

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

124:6

Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their
teeth.

124:7

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers:
the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

124:8

Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

125:1

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot
be removed, but abideth for ever.

125:2

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round
about his people from henceforth even for ever.

125:3

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the
righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

125:4

Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are
upright in their hearts.

125:5

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall
lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall
be upon Israel.

126:1

When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like
them that dream.

126:2

Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with
singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done
great things for them.

126:3

The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

126:4

Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

126:5

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

126:6

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with
him.

127:1

Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build
it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in
vain.

127:2

It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the
bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

127:3

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the
womb is his reward.

127:4

As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of
the youth.

127:5

Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall
not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the
gate.

128:1

Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his
ways.

128:2

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou
be, and it shall be well with thee.

128:3

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house:
thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

128:4

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

128:5

The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the
good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

128:6

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.

129:1

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel
now say:

129:2

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have
not prevailed against me.

129:3

The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.

129:4

The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

129:5

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.

129:6

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth
afore it groweth up:

129:7

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth
sheaves his bosom.

129:8

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be
upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
